Lyrics

So resulting from a few illegal capers
You are starring
In the papers
Just go over with the jury and in jig time
Join the Buxbaums
In the big time
So you'll try a little trill for traviatta
La la la, la la la
(La la la, la la la)
So it's not your style sonata
When a girl has got what you have got a lot 'a
You know what you've got?
You've got something hot
So here's a good tiding
If men you are killing
A talent you're hiding
To be a performer
So be a performer
And soon you'll be riding
If God should be willing
The crest of your life
You ain't a Pavlova
An Ellen or Douce
But looking you over
You'll be a performer
You'll be a performer
A Lollapalooza
And rolling in clover
Just pass the test of your life
So up the river
They would send you
But with Mother Nature helping to defend you
Who can send you
Very far?
Sobbing in a dress
That clings to all the things you are
So listen to Bernie
And listen to Benny
Forget the attorney
And be a performer
And be a performer
We need a performer
Unless you, God forbid
Get hung for what you did
Oh, you naughty kid
Just fulfill this small
Request of your life (be a performer)
I'll be a performer
You'll be thankful all
The rest of your long and healthy
Knock wood
Life!
